Thanks, they are fine.

In the 1880s ads say it was being sold by Dr A T Shallenberger in Rochester PA.

I just read a reference to it from a book about 1857. So I guess it goes back that far.

They aren't real good though. I took them on the fly,

Hey David,

My first thought when I saw this picture was, "Ooo, nice photo, great haloing effect..." so I beg to differ. I think you really gave a feel for the glass.

How many "Antidote" bottles are there? I can't think of another & I'm feelin too lazy to go get Fike.

I did find this example of creative marketing that I thought some people might get a kick out'ta.

The rev stamp says it was invented in 1847

Thanks for the encouragement surfaceone! By the way, I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you always have (what seems to be) a random image after all of your posts? Do you look one up on the internet every time or do you have them in a folder waiting to use 'em? Some of them are cool...like the Memphis Jug Band!

With the right cork, it would be the perfect pill vial.. I'm surprised we don't see more of these.. I like...

I bet everyone looked just alike too.

I messed that one up. I was trying to quote GunterHess. I bet this bottle didn't change once in the entire time it was made.
